One Ghost

[The pokegear flips on and there is a very confused, somewhat bewildered looking kid looking into the camera.]

Okay, um. I ...really don't know what's going on here. This isn't my house, or my mom, and this place is definitely not Blithe Hollow.

Is anyone listening on this? I- this is crazy. I'm walking around this place like I got trapped in a video game- I don't think I've even played this version. What does- Ack!

[And it's at this point, Norman gets cut off because he's being bodily tackled by his pokemon, which can be seen as a Duskull shaped blur. Norman grumbles off screen as he's at the mercy of its affection.]

I'm just making a call, I'm not going anywhere- Okay, okay we can go in a minute. I kind of need you to get off me first.

[The funny thing is that he's actually also having a conversation with it.]

Can I still get badges? That was kind of the whole point of the video game, I think.

[timelymaid]

Sure! I've been collecting them, too. They're useful for other reasons - I mean the badges and the gym battles both, really.

[brokethecycle]

Okay, so we're basically just supposed to act like we're playing the game. Breed pokemon and collect badges? Are there any other catches?

[timelymaid]

"Catches"? Well...you can't die, here.

[brokethecycle]

You can't die?

[timelymaid]

Not permanently, at least!
